obama and romney both pulling 49% of support out of likely voters. this is in line with that tightening national race according to a number of major polls. so why is, or is it your view, that ohio is kind of the microcosm of the country? >> ohio is, indeed, fredricka. it always is. it's tied this time, but if you were to compare, let's say, texas or utah with new york and put them all in one state, you would have ohio. >> so the president has traveled to that state at least 24 times, mitt romney somewhere more than 40 times this year alone. both of them clearly know it's a very important state. but at this juncture, as the two still will descend on ohio with just a few days before election day, if everything goes according to plan, what do ohioans need to hear from them? >> i think they need assurance from the president that things will get better. things are bad, everyone knows that, but that they'll improve, that the worst is over, if he can convey that effectively. governor romney needs to continue to persuade voters that obama has had his four ye

so when you look at obama, look at obama care, it mandates people buy insurance. it says, hey, everyone, nearly everyone has to buy insurance or we're going to make you pay money. and it also tells insurance companies, hey, you know what, you got to accept everybody, even the people with expensive pre-existing conditions, you've got to take them in, which they're not doing right now. romney's plan is, we're not going to mandate that you buy insurance, we're going to leave that up to you, and there are going to be fewer requirements placed on insurance companies, way fewer. romney's basic philosophy is the market will, for the most part, take care of problems in our health care system. >> so how does governor romney attack obama care on the stage tonight when the counterattack, you know, is going to be romney care was the foundation for obama care. >> that's right. that's right. and so what i think romney is very likely that romney will do is he's going to attack this as a tax. i think this because he just started this new ad campaign that lays it out there, he say

romney or obama? >> the overriding thought is would help president obama. however, the democratic governor of the state of colorado has even said that he's not in favor of it, has failed to endorse. the truth is, this policy would put the state of colorado, my home state to the left of the country, the netherlands, when it comes to marijuana policy. this isn't decriminalizing. this is making use legal for personal purposes and then regulating a private sector market for marijuana. so this is an extremely progressive law and, you know, the jury is out. we'll see what happened. while it is polling a few points ahead, generally -- they're going to have to be leading by six or seven points by election day to get them over the edge when it comes tomorrow. we'll see how they do. >> we'll move from marijuana, want to get to same sex marriage. look at the map. four states have same sex marriage on the ballot tomorrow. washington, maryland, minnesota, maine. with maine possibly representing the biggest turn around here on how same sex marriage is viewed three years
